The name of the style of Aikido given to the art O-sensei Ueshiba
was teaching early in his development. It is very close in style to previously existing Jutsu forms such as
Daito-ryu Aiki-jutsu. It is considered to be one of the harder forms of Aikido. Most of the early students of O-sensei
began during this period and much of the early practice overseas was in this style (e.g. Abbe-sensei's teaching in the
UK in the 50s).
